Advanced tools
The node-fetch-commonjs package is a CommonJS version of the popular node-fetch library, which allows you to make HTTP requests in a Node.js environment. It provides a simple and familiar API for making network requests, similar to the Fetch API available in browsers.
Basic GET Request
This feature allows you to make a basic GET request to a specified URL and handle the response. The example fetches a post from a placeholder API and logs the response data.
const fetch = require('node-fetch-commonjs');
fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
POST Request with JSON Body
This feature allows you to make a POST request with a JSON body. The example sends a new post to a placeholder API and logs the response data.
const fetch = require('node-fetch-commonjs');
const data = { title: 'foo', body: 'bar', userId: 1 };
fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify(data)
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
Handling Headers
This feature allows you to include custom headers in your requests. The example fetches a post from a placeholder API with an Authorization header.
const fetch = require('node-fetch-commonjs');
fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1', {
headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer token' }
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
